Goldstein Investigation: Parking Attendants Near LAX Take Money, Other Items From Cars

[@passiton3801]

Theft is theft, they should be immediately dismissed by the employer!

[@jeremyanderson3819]

They should be arrested.

It really is weird how they don't just immediately fire the person

Ahh, so you're going to murder someone for theft. Good luck with that defense in court.

[@Br99klynINg24_8]

Most of these places have signs saying they are not responsible for items left in the car. Right there that should be a dead giveaway!!!

[@mctigger1]

All parking garages will have a sign that says this. It covers then when someone steals from your car whether the thief works for them or not.

[@Pie4life123]

The valet managers/owners wanted to say “Oh well, what do you want me to do? Next time take your money with you.” But he was on camera, so that looks bad. All crooks!

[@dgronzega8073]

Knew someone that worked at a dealership. One day he got in a car that had thousands of $ in the console. Called the foreman, documented it, put it in a sealed envelope in the shop safe. His first thought is that someone was trying to bait him.

[@Gn777-rk5kg]

Rule number 1 never leave your car in the airport. Always have someone to take you to the airport, such as. A family member, uber or a friend.

[@imgonsayitanyway1086]

They All been doing that for years. The manager is the biggest culprit. That’s why they say not responsible for lost or stolen items. They take advantage of that rule.

[@bacarlson991]

It has that sign everywhere.

[@drussell710]

No, the reason they say that is because your car is left in a place where people that are not employees of the car valet could break into your car and steal items. I'm not siding with the company but that is the reason why they have this statement.

[@user-cv3gd2wr5q]

That’s always the first “excuse,” don’t leave stuff in your car. I’m supposed to be able to leave stuff in MY car without it being stolen! IT’S MY STUFF IN MY CAR! Next thing you know they’ll start making excuses for people that break into homes. “Don’t leave stuff in your house when you’re not home.”

I never, ever, ever do valet. I don't understand it at all. Why would I give my car to someone else to drive, especially a complete stranger who is uninsured? I can park my car myself. One time a restaurant required me to use the valet. They wouldn't let me park my own car. I was like, 'Nope, not gonna happen! See ya,' and just left.

As a valet myself, ALWAYS look at reviews for the company before you valet your car

[@42luke93]

Good advice. Haven’t thought of doing that. But honestly I avoid it the valet whenever possible.

[@MrAnderson84]

*I work at Safelite Autoglass when I'm vacuuming glass inside peoples cars anything and everything I find under the seats or on the floorboards I put on the passenger seat and tell the customer, I wont even steal a dime. If I replace a windshield and see change on the floorboard or on someones seat I leave it be. I cant stand people in the auto business taking stull that doesnt belong to them.*

[@kylewarren5268]

I guarantee the managers or owners are fully aware of what's goin on

[@patmcbride9853]

Manager: "Damn him, he never paid me my cut!" I'd love to see the money thief being told by cops "We're not taking you to jail!" while they take him to jail.

[@chuloyo650]

As someone with 10 years of prior valet expierence it's so sicking to see this. Not all valets companies are the same. i was trained to put the money in a safe spot and notify mangement. Or if its the same day pickup notify the owner of where we put their belongings. Shame on people that steal.

[@MarcoMartinez-ck9vq]

“Oh, thank you for showing this to us, it’ll keep us on our toes” and do absolutely nothing!!! They should be all fired.

I wish there were more investigations like this for everything in our everyday lives. The more people get caught the less this shit happens.

I always empty my car before taking it for servicing. I wonder if the Service Departments charged me for unnecessary work not done to spite me.

Props to the last attendant who actually put the money in a safe spot.

[@mrLD921]

I hate stories that don’t tell you what happens to the thieves

[@risingwarrior9937]

This happened to my wife. They took cash that she had left in the center console. She cried and told the manager that she would never patronize that business again. That carwash went out of business a year later.

[@James-md7fy]

Thank you for this. Keep exposing this madness

[@CoopyKat]

Nobody should leave ANYTHING in a car that is parked in long-term parking, that is just inviting thieves to steal it. When I park in long-term parking for LAX, I leave NOTHING in the trunk, or anywhere. I only take what I'm traveling with. Of course, that doesn't excuse the sickening thieves that steal, that is despicable.

[@aaronramirez2610]

Also don't leave anything at your house, if you are going to be gone 4 a while.

They are charging for parking service just like the parking meters, not for the security.

?? And where is the end of this story, where the thief is fired and charged by the police for theft (and now he has a criminal record so he can't work as a parking attendant ever again.)

I had a drone I ordered few months ago, waited and waited then it dropped off the map for tracking at a customs port in NY and later found out through others that is was most likely stolen by a worker or agent working there at the time, thousands of things go missing at these places because they believe they have authority to take what they want because it's a corrupt agency..

1. I never let any valet drive my car. 2. I never leave any $, or valuables inside my car when I leave it any long-term parking garage. 3. I do have three cameras which turn on when the car is bumped, the doors are opened. I have been lucky, no thefts. The best defense is to have dash cameras, and do not leave anything in the car to be stolen. Specially when you have to leave the keys with a stranger.

[@Landis_Grant]

I usually empty my car before I take it in for servicing except a few dimes and two George Beverly Shea cassettes. Nothing was stolen and my radio station was always switched from easy listening to a rock music channel.

there was a time i'd found a bunch of hundred bills inside a car i was servicing on my shop 💸 i took the bunch of bills and secured it into my tool box so no one could take it; i left a sign on top of the steering wheel notifying the customer of my findings 🔍 👀 the customer wasn't aware he had that money inside his car either, so he tipped me w/ 5 $100 bills lol 👉 that really made my day 💴 at school we were thaught about these social issues w/ customer's items, first is unethical, then is not right, and lastly you could risk your job and get fired just to score a few bucks - never get anything from a customer even if its on the ash tray 👈
